Hi suspect this is mostly because you're new and your skin hasn't adapted yet. You should be drinking lots of water and apply a generous layer of coconut oil to lubricate your breasts.

 I’m using lots of coconut oil and shea butter while I massage before pumping and then another big scoop right before I put the cups on. But I could definitely up my water intake significantly so I’ll do that and then maybe just take it slow these first couple of weeks. Thank you very much for the good suggestions!
